Kamala Harris, the US Vice President, has once again become the center of attention as she begins her campaign for the US presidential nomination. With the Democratic Party’s support secured, she is set to formally accept her nomination soon.
Her journey towards the November 5 election has already sparked a wave of online activity, particularly surrounding a memorable phrase from one of her speeches: “You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?” This remark, made in 2023, quickly transformed into a viral meme that is now making a comeback as Harris embarks on her campaign.
